All of the news has created a stir amongst the hordes of gamers everywhere, and while the announcements are certainly exciting from a consumer stand point, there are a lot of questions that the ‘Ambassador’ program raised that Nintendo didn’t answer. One of the big questions was whether or not the 10 free NES games would fall in line with the current line of ‘3D Classics’ on the Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo answered the question, stating that the downloadable NES titles will NOT be ‘3D Classics’, but that they will feature a few upgrades such as multiplayer.
So it seems that Ambassadors will receive the original NES title in all of its heavenly glory, and will then be able to access the additional features when the game actually launches on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. The fact that early adopters of the handheld will have to wait longer to utilize all of an NES game’s new features is a bit of a pain, but the fact that they get all of the new content as soon as its available, and for free, more than makes up for it.
The Big N wouldn’t go into detail about which games would feature multiplayer (or even touch on some of the other games that will be part of the offer), but Nintendo will likely get into specifics for the service shortly.
